Doesn’t work

I spent money on this app and it doesn’t even open. Can’t use it. Too bad .

Does not work on iPad mini

The app works on my iPhone, I like it. But unfortunately it doesn’t work on my iPad mini which is what I really want to use it on. I deleted and reinstalled the app twice, still no luck. Will there be an update soon?

Cool tool

This is a steal for $.99! The physical ones are at least 5 time as much and you can’t even change it up. I haven’t seen a new review and wanted to try it out. It’s safe to say that this is much better than buying one from Amazon and especially from your local 4x4 store. This thing is timeless. Look at how long ago the dev did anything to this app. This came out in 2017 and it’s still going strong without changes.
$.99 folks, remember when almost every app out there was $.99? This one still is and it’s worth more than that.
